1-Point Calibration (Above Ground)
The 1PT CAL procedure is performed with the transmitter turned on and in the drill head, parallel to and
10 ft (or 3 m) from the receiver as described below. DCI does not recommend calibrating every day, but
you should verify the receiver’s depth reading daily at several locations using a tape measure.
NOTE: Calibration is necessary prior to first-time use and before a different transmitter, receiver, or
drill head is to be used.
The 1-point calibration menu display appears as follows:
1PT CAL Screen
The above figure shows the calibration setup with the receiver and transmitter situated parallel to each
other. The flashing symbol at the top of the screen indicates that you must click the trigger to initiate the
calibration. If you wait longer than 10 seconds to click the trigger, the operation will end without con-
ducting the calibration procedure.
To calibrate:
1. The receiver must be parallel to and level with the transmitter. It is preferable to conduct the
procedure on level ground.
2. Measure 10 ft (3 m) from the center of the transmitter to the inside edge of the receiver as shown
above in the 1PT CAL screen.
3. Verify that roll and pitch values are being displayed on the receiver and that a steady signal is
being received from the transmitter.
4. Access the 1PT CAL screen and click the trigger to initiate the calibration.
5. A countdown sequence from 5 to 0 will begin on the screen.
6. If the calibration is successful, you will see a checkmark above the transmitter icon as shown
below, and you will hear the confirmation signal.
